Apple has decided that it will NOT appeal the case that it lost against a couple bloggers. The case surrounds the leaking of Apple corporate secrets on PowerPage and ThinkSecret.
Apple sought to obtain communication between unnamed sources that allegedly leaked information to two Internet sites. On May 26, 2006 the judge in the State of California Court of Appeal 6th Appellate District agreed with lawyers for PowerPage and AppleInsider who argued that the confidentiality of sources for the online journalists were protected by the First Amendment.
This case brought into question what exactly is a journalist? Turns out that bloggers (well, some anyway) qualify.
